NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Parker Kligerman will have a full schedule behind the wheel ahead of him at Michigan International Speedway this weekend as he makes his first start for Red Horse Racing in the Truck Series. Aside from his inaugural run in the #7 Tundra for the NCWTS event, Kligerman will also fill in during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice and qualifying in the #22 Pennzoil/Shell Penske Racing Dodge. Kligerman, who was scheduled for this fill in position prior to signing with Red Horse this week, knows that he will have less time on his hands, but is confident he will have no issues balancing both schedules. ‘I ‘ve done a lot of testing in the cup car before so it should be a seamless transition. Aside from having little time between practice sessions, there should be no issues with the schedule. I ‘m a professional race car driver and my job at the end of the day is just worry about driving as fast as possible, so that’s what I ‘m going to do,’ said Kligerman.(Red Horse Racing)(8-13-2012)UPDATE: With Sam Hornish Jr. running third in the Nationwide Series points and poised to have a serious shot at the series ‘ points title, he will remain in Montreal focusing on the task at hand there through the conclusion of Saturday’s race. The first time he will climb aboard the Shell-Pennzoil Dodge will be on Sunday morning on the starting grid at MIS.(Tom Roberts PR), so Hornish will have to start the race from the back regardless of where Kligerman qualifies.(8-15-2012)
